I am so excited to blog about BABY DETTLOFF!! yes that's right, we are having a baby. To describe this time in our lives as crazy is an understatement. I am beyond excited about the little one, I however will be the first to stand up and say I absolutely HATE being pregnant. This pregnancy has not been the rainbows and butterflies that women talk about. I won't go into the details because that would be a blog post all in itself. Aint no body got time for that. We found out 5 weeks early what our babies gender is, you all still have to wait until 20 weeks. ;) I must say though, I cannot even contain myself I love this little person so much already- I can't wait to be "it's" mom. SERIOUSLY. I have always been one to appreciate my family and my friends but I truly truly cherish them all the more going through this time. I can barily leave my apartment except to go to work. As lonely as this gets, my family and friends have been AMAZING in loving on me. My two best friends at work keep me sane all day long and for all the moments in between its my mom, my best friend, my sister in laws, and my hubby blowing up my phone or showing up at my apartment.<br />
Not only do I feel so grateful, but I know that besides mommy and daddy, this baby is going to be one loved little kid.<br />
Bryan and I have so many cool things going on in our lives right now! Another understatment would be to simply say that God has been SO good to us. We live completely day by day by faith alone. there are so many things that have popped up in the past few months and through lots of prayers God has fought on our behalf and brought us right up to where we stand today. I have to say with all this Chaos, I am VERY ready for this next chapter. I don't know what this spring is going to look like (let alone the season we are currently in) but I am preparing my heart for anything.<br />
I am so proud of my husband for being so determined in his goals and the way he simply lets God do what he wants to do. A lot of us dig our heals in the ground instead of just excepting what needs to be changed and working towards it. He is such a wonderful man!<br />
All this to say life is so very good, even through all this sickness! I will do my best to post more than once a year buuuuuut if you know me at all, we will just see how that goes! ;)<br />

that is where you can find me.<br />
<br />
I'm bouncing into change like its 1993<br />
<br />
He's wearing new cologne and I'm hanging up shelves<br />
were a matching pair him and I<br />
him and I, were a matching pair<br />
<br />
Every day is something new, and I'm past the point of ready to find it.<br />
I put on my anthems and I put rubber to road.<br />
starting early on my "resolutions"<br />
change has begun<br />
<br />
It would be nice to think that the friends we keep<br />
are the friends that keep us back<br />
unfortunately<br />
for you and for me<br />
people are people are people are WACK<br />
<br />
last spring changed my timeline once again<br />
and that season -as do all seasons-<br />
fluttered in like a lion and out like a lamb<br />
<br />
I've based my whole new being off of that very altering experience<br />
learned who I am, who I'm willing to be, and who I simply AM NOT<br />
<br />
I am NOT your fall out girl<br />
i AM not your friend<br />
I am not your diary<br />
I AM NOT your beginning or your END<br />
<br />
I REFUSE to be strings on your fiddle that you play<br />
without naming names<br />
<br />
I am ME, I am WORTHY, I am WORTH IT<br />
<br />
I will never forget<br />
I am already moving on- you just don't know it yet-<br />
<br />
He's my best guy friend<br />
She's my best girl friend<br />
<br />
I fit snug between the people who love me and my meter beeps every time you walk into the room.<br />
Please don't make me beg for separation<br />
I'm gonna do me, and you need to do you.<br />
<br />
Admit the things that you have done have brought change that you cannot unravel.<br />
I saw truth last spring-<br />
when you experience truth, you open your suit case-<br />
take out the nonsense<br />
and fill up with the elements around you.<br />
<br />
Twenty thirteen, I embrace you with open arms.<br />
<br />
I'm ready for new traditions...<br />

I folded. Everyone kept saying to me, well didn't you see my picture??? Facebook ignorance doesn't bother me as much. ie- didn't you see my picture? Because chances are whether I am on facebook or not, I won't see the darn picture. There are just WAY to many people on facebook for me. But instagram, naaaaaaah, I'll see the picture! PICTURE PICTURE PICTURE.<br />
<br />
Hus and I are snuggling on the couch together right now. This, right here, this is one of my favorite moments with him. I feel like a kid in the morning before getting ready for school. We wager with ourselves getting up early, and the way we get er done? "Ok, lets go lay on the couch and watch tv." It works every time. Just like a kid. Only were not watching cartoons, were watching my beloved Today show. My second favorite moment of the day with my honeeeeey is being exactly right back on this couch snuggling after work. It's a great routine we've invented. It really makes me even more greatful to my parents for giving this couch to me two years ago. I seriously live such a blessed life. I mean, sure, I got in a pickle in the snow yesterday just like everyone else, and I have a billion and one things make me go semi crazy yesterday. HOWEVER, I got to come home to my sweet husband and we got to snuggle on our giant golden brown couch. Oh yeah, and my dad bought us each a shovel so we can be prepared citizens of minnesota from here on out. ;)<br />
<br />
Yesterday we had a rep from Alterna come in to give us a class. Alterna is probably my FAVORITE line of products that we carry. It doesnt matter what you are using of theirs, it's gonna make your hair feel AMAZING!!!! So I was giddy going into the class. But seriously, this lade was FANTASTIC. We learned so much about different curling techniques, and organic braiding and and ANNNNDDDD so many other really fancy thannngs. I don't do anything with updo's/upstyles at my salon but I seriously want to grab all of my long haired friends and start curling. SERIOUSLY. I'm so interested to see where my life takes me.<br />
Ahh and on that note, it's time for this lade to get ready for work. Work work WoRk. See ya neeeeevveeerrr.<br />

My husband and I still carried on with all of our already planned plans, but we chose NOT to make any new ones come Sunday. He watched football all day and I cleaned my backside off. literally, when being trapped inside for hours on end apparently "stuff" gets accomplished. I cleaned out our bedroom, did all of the laundry, cleaned the microwaveable, the kitchen, the living room, cleaned our every bag that was laying around in our room. I tackled all of the small projects sitting on my craft desk, I started teaching my husband a couple light things on his guitar, I made a Delicious chicken dinner AND we went for a 45 minuet walk in the blizzard. We were sopping wet when we got back home, but seriously, it was a GORGEOUS walk. We than proceeded to finish off the night with a movie and clearly two bowls of popcorn. When I laid my head down last night I CRASHED...HARD. Now today's trick is about to begin. We own no shovel, and we are about to attempt to dig our cars out in a few minuets here. STAY TUNED. ;) Today could be either really fun at work, or REAAAALLLLYYY boring. Fabulous for me though, husband doesn't have to work until noon now so he gets to accompany me to my first round of "early" morning shots! So until later- Enjoy your snow days kiddies, I'm OUUUUTTT<br />

Crafts has been a part of me since I was named Tiffany. I've always enjoyed making and solving my own "how to be cheap and still look cute" dilemmas. Ever since launching my stylist career three years ago, I chose to throw my crafty skills for gems and jewels in the backseat of my metaphoric life and solely focus on being the best stylist I could possibly be. That is still one of my day to day goals obviously, however now that I'm a married women my perspective on what I want in life is changing. Honestly, that might not have anything to do with being married as much as it does with being 25.5. This coming year I want to allow myself creative freedom again. I don't necessarily want to take my gems to market but I would like to make them. My inspiration for the evening came from an old bracelet. Whatever works right?<br />
<br />
Also judge all you want, I know the background is a sheet. ;)<br />

Just sitting here drinking my quite customized coffee, watching the today show while my husband sleeps next to me, and reflecting on the past couple days. <br />
I've had such a busy weekend with really no down time. That's ok, this is my life. Oh and BTW, yeah I'm married now. ;) it's been a solid 3 months and I must say it TRULY does get better every day. I love doing life with this man. So back to my first point- I am so excited for this season! There are parties galore with the people that I most adore. I've concluded after a recent string of events that I am done doing things out of pure obligation. Starting now and into 2013 I no longer want to go to random gatherings of people that I already know I don't want to be friends with just to save face. Not cool. I have decided I no longer care if people wonder or don't wonder why I'm not at their "get together." My best friends mantra for 2013 is going to be to love more. Mine is going to be -life's to short- <br />
Life is to short to not live it to the fullest<br />
Life's to short to let another person dictate your happiness. <br />
Life's to short to not give it all you've got. <br />
Life's to short not to dance and sing every chance that comes. <br />
Life's to short to not be reading the word every day. <br />
Life's...to...short. <br />
<br />
2013, I'm getting ready for you. <br />
<br />
<br />
Happy Monday prettys. <br />
<br />
Enjoy my husband as a hipster... ;) <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyEBPUEt2s0peKMq6sUxjFeToKh2yqzZrQjIMj6nuy-TZhsIqHWqAOJBuCErEB7-iokQYJYxRn1Wx-v-oxPMdNqz0VgyRyCG1yAuec2HbiC9bTRkSyDg-C9K2PrCavAw1Yd5KgweW8D9Y/s640/blogger-image--770310107.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyEBPUEt2s0peKMq6sUxjFeToKh2yqzZrQjIMj6nuy-TZhsIqHWqAOJBuCErEB7-iokQYJYxRn1Wx-v-oxPMdNqz0VgyRyCG1yAuec2HbiC9bTRkSyDg-C9K2PrCavAw1Yd5KgweW8D9Y/s640/blogger-image--770310107.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIJ8JMOLNrH02RxUQwJfaovFSeTETEaw8aP_PjhmkQxnFGvuBSrDlMfgtbgLuti3VSSGmKZ-3ucXJjsYNKQ7noPkRyCHDpY5dX6PiPpbjh5sUM5z3vjun9YWtk2Jh4soMR5Yvcn7OVLe8/s640/blogger-image--1437395958.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIJ8JMOLNrH02RxUQwJfaovFSeTETEaw8aP_PjhmkQxnFGvuBSrDlMfgtbgLuti3VSSGmKZ-3ucXJjsYNKQ7noPkRyCHDpY5dX6PiPpbjh5sUM5z3vjun9YWtk2Jh4soMR5Yvcn7OVLe8/s640/blogger-image--1437395958.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiynBiZD5rud4oTCFi1xoG6c58ey3ow1WsDXthLH5yhu53Q7mAN-rY7HgfohwB6Oc82P1sogts-AwT1NDMJXNbl_i7bV5fvz8NKmOw38MtSuy2XLTPq-jd1cjH6cVlG_TdCDSmmbknofKY/s640/blogger-image--799899907.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiynBiZD5rud4oTCFi1xoG6c58ey3ow1WsDXthLH5yhu53Q7mAN-rY7HgfohwB6Oc82P1sogts-AwT1NDMJXNbl_i7bV5fvz8NKmOw38MtSuy2XLTPq-jd1cjH6cVlG_TdCDSmmbknofKY/s640/blogger-image--799899907.jpg" /></a></div>Your Artistic Viewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08290269306633610771noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3041481675696226346.post-40401547636374702682012-11-28T20:37:00.001-08:002012-11-28T20:37:15.962-08:00 <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoBGWsFZJzYDaMmWb3IQapbUY8y5FpW2i2ko7ceJMH_P9k08_art-uTmykMUMkqziOKiDU7n_zQPSOyLMrPDqpYpSUx2rvYtC69KLM1rG3b2UlFZedNCKEYeE5uKCwwWSONwXO5kFp6Ik/s640/blogger-image--1815051710.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoBGWsFZJzYDaMmWb3IQapbUY8y5FpW2i2ko7ceJMH_P9k08_art-uTmykMUMkqziOKiDU7n_zQPSOyLMrPDqpYpSUx2rvYtC69KLM1rG3b2UlFZedNCKEYeE5uKCwwWSONwXO5kFp6Ik/s640/blogger-image--1815051710.jpg" /></a></div>Your Artistic Viewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08290269306633610771noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3041481675696226346.post-48565235223393977802012-11-28T09:03:00.001-08:002012-11-28T09:03:23.919-08:00See ya never...or in 5 daysLast night I deleted my facebook and instagram off of my phone, which I do about once every two months. We will see how long I can hold out this time before quickly re downloading.I just get so sick of being consumed with wasteful knowledge of other people's fake lives. I loath the posts that constantly complain, and I loath the posts that are clearly way to consistently perfect to be real. Kind of whiney, I know. I toy with the idea of deleting my facebook like every other day. It would be easier just to delete all the people that drive me bonkers but half of them are people that would actually get offended and are much to close in life to not cause discomfort. I would be semi sad to lose all my photos from the last billion years but seriously what would life be like if I didn't care about anything that anyone posted anywhere! :) I WANT TO BE FREEEEEE! For right now I am just doing what I always do and I'll just keep deleting and re downloading my dumb phone apps seeking freedom and connection all at the same time. Can we say conflicted?? HA! :)<br />
<br />
anyway good luck to me, if I can convince myself and my hubby to take the plunge than perhaps 2013 could be facebook free.<br />
<br />
Instagram on the other hand I more than likely will re download tomorrow! ;)<br />
<br />

<br />
Business is SLOW. Slower than slow, it's like watching ice try to melt in below zero weather...IT DOESN'T HAPPEN!! I'm not even upset about the economy, it is what it is. I am however questioning my goals, wants and dreams for my life as of now. I have gone on many tangents in the last 2 weeks. I have had MUCH "down time" to question where I am in my life and I must say, my revelations have been a surprise. I'm ready for more, and less all at the same time. I won't complain about a single work related issue due to the fact that anyone could read this, so bare with my cryptic-ness. I love being a hairdresser, I love my clients. I don't love the hours I get to waste sitting on my butt not doing hair and not seeing my clients. Honestly I don't want to work 9+ hour days for the next chapter in my life. They haven't paid off in the past, they are not propelling me or setting me up for the future. The only thing they are doing is inhibiting me from living a life and keeping all the shampoo bottles full and the backroom relatively clean. I know happiness isn't everything but I do believe in feeling a sense of pride and purpose in what you do from day to day and doing "this" for 9 hours, 5 days a week gives me no sense of that. I want more, I NEED MORE. I want less hours of agonizing over all the things I could be accomplishing in life outside of my four work walls and more accomplishing my dreams. I have goals and a time frame that I am going to live by for the next year, but I must say I am getting excited for what comes "next." I just need to figure out what that is...<br />
<br />
stay tuned.Your Artistic Viewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08290269306633610771noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3041481675696226346.post-15063666875827312252012-07-13T18:50:00.003-07:002012-07-13T18:51:18.003-07:00Hello from July<br />
Hello from July…<br />
<br />
Hola. I almost sat down and wrote to all of you in May as predicted, but instead I just re read through all of my goals in my last blog and called it a day.<br />
<br />
So here I sit. One month and 2 weeks until I’m a Sadie Sadie married lady. WOW. I’ll let you in on a little glimpse of life as of right now. I’M NOT NERVOUS TO GET MARRIED. I am however STREEESSSED out!! And no, there is nothing that anyone else can do to take that stress away lol because if there was, I would quickly delegate. I’m on my own with the dress fittings, the tux’s, the guest list addresses, the shopping and preparing. $$$$$ It all boils down to money. Bryan and I have yet to grasp that concept of a budget. No matter how I try to live it ends up being less than paycheck to paycheck. Seriously, I’m excited to get married for all the right reasons, but BIILLLL CUUUUTTT… Sep can you please get here, I’m sick of paying rent by myself every month.<br />
Can I give a shout out to my best friend puuuhhlease? She is the biggest Gem you will ever meet in your whole life. Not only is she a Mother, wife, daughter, sister and Nurse, but she somehow still finds the time to be my best friend/maid of honor. It makes me tear up from time to time trying to grasp how much she must love me (I’m still not quite sure how I deserve it,) in order for her to juggle my crazy life right on top of hers. She went ahead and planned my whole bachelorette party and anything that wasn’t perfect about it was in no way related to her or her perfect party planning. Not to mention dealing with my crazy family/friends in all other party planning aspects. She has been so quick to pick up any pieces during this engagement time that may have gotten broken (along with my mom.) Without her, Bryan would be a big huge ball of stress because I would be dumping all my cares on his shoulders instead.<br />
So Stine, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU. If I had a billion dollars, I would buy you a pony and fly you to Hawaii. I love you with all of my heart.<br />
<br />
<br />
Thank you to all of my other besties that have traveled from near and far, called or messaged me to comfort, collect my thoughts or talk me off the ledge every other day. <span style="background-color: white;">you are a treasure to me. More treasured than I could ever convey to you. The skype sessions, the backroom pep talks, the long distance phone calls, or the check in text messages. I appreciate them all. You all know my love language is COMMUNICATION. without it, I go bonkers. Here's the catch 22, I am TERRIBLE at responding. lol but the fact that you all consistently let me know I'm treasured gives me daily reason to smile. :) I LOVE YYOOOUUU!!!!</span><br />
<br />
I am so thankful that I am choosing a life with one mate. I will NEVER go through all of this wedding hubub EVER AGAIN. It’s simply put, not for me. I am not a planner, and even though I keep a planner, I do not enjoy having no room for adventure or le way. Nor do I enjoy having every Jane, Lucy and Sandra calling me inquiring about anything wedding related every single day. LEAVE ME ALONE. QUIT CALLING ME, and LET ME BE MARRIED ALREADY.<br />
- Discretion- I am however going to enjoy every basking moment of wedding shower glory while I’m in it. NO REGRETS. And one more discretion, I would have been even more worse off had I been engaged for a longer amount of time. Ever day that passes makes me even more stressed. We would have been good candidates for eloping. We actually discusses this several times but felt we would both regret not having a wedding one day in the distant future. So here we sit…planning the wedding that we don’t want to regret. ;)<br />
<br />
I turned 25 on the 9th and I must say, it feels pretty grown up. I was fully expecting to have a melt down as 25 to my solidifies being a grown up and not a baby. However I truly think I had the very best birthday weekend EVER which made it a lot funner crossing that thresh hold.<br />
<br />
I had golden birthday re-do (because I clearly wasn’t able to revel in the golden ness at 9 years old.)<br />
It was honestly one of the funnest nights I think I have had in FOREVER. Most all of my friends that make my heart smile were there. Everyone wore gold. It was fabulous. The next day per annual tradition, Bryan and I went to valley fair with my friend Kit and her lovely man Ned. I went ahead and threw my back out like a normal grandma who just turned 25. Oh and kit almost drowned in the wave pool lol. All in all, everything was totally worth it and it was a fabulous day. THAN last but not least on my actual birthday, it quite possibly might have been the BEEESSSSTTT day. I started the morning out having birthday coffee with my best friend and I got to spend some quality time with my God daughter. I feel so blessed to have witnessed her crawling in its beginning stages. I hear she’s a real mover now. ;) Than I picked up Bryan and I swear we drove everywhere under the sun. We picked up free birthday coffee twice, (one for him, one for me.) Than headed on up to tailors falls, stopping many times for adventure in between all of that. We finished out journey off with dinner at leo’s in dt Stillwater. I got to hang out with his parents for a brief moment and play with the pup, than I got to finish off my birthday with the ones who gave me life. THIRD ROUND OF BIRTHDAY COFFEE WITH MOM AND DAD!!!! J Oh and I got to hang out with the Ziolkowski’s for a half hour. All day long everyone under the sun called, texted or messaged me a happy birthday. Than just when I thought the day couldn’t possibly get any better, I walked into the door of my apartment to find a giant bouquet of yellow roses and tiger lily’s waiting for me. THANKS MOM. I was so overwhelmed I almost couldn’t sleep. It was the perfect birthday season transition into wedding season. I have many pictures to post and many more updates to follow, but I feel I have left you with enough for tonight.<br />
<br />
Love from my heart to yours,<br />
<br />
Ciao Bella-<br />

<br />
Life is really great right now. In fact, I feel like a whole new person. Kind of anyway. I mean, deep down under everything I'm still the same old girl I always was. Just a little older (unfortunately.) Sorry I don't write a whole lot. I could probably blame it on my lack of internet but really what it boils down to is my lack of motivation to write. Funny because growing up, that is ALL that I did. I wrote songs, stories, poems, everything and anything that would form a sentence, I wrote it. Well, shout out to my stine-hars because she is probably the only one reading this. Which I am completely A.O.K with.<br />
<br />
I have learned so much about myself in this past year. Some of the things I don't really care for, and others I will own with pride. Life is funny that way. God has brought so many amazing people into my life over the course of these past 365 days. Some I call my friends, some I call my co workers, some I call my family and others I just call "little buffers." ;) I recently got engaged, and that happening changed a LOT in my life. My hopes and dreams are all still there, but I have a whole slew of others that have been tacked on to those. A lot of my creative outlets have taken a back seat this past year which kind of saddens me. However if I fail to do anything about it to get them back, well than it's no one else's blame. I think I am going to take advantage of the 21 day fast that Substance does every year. I want to spend some time focusing on a few different areas of my life in the next 6 months. In order to do that I will either need to finish One tree hill asap (not an option,) or put it on the back burner, shut the tv off completely and get to work.<br />
<br />
Being that it is a new year I of course have a few goals that I would like to try to achieve to better myself as a person, but also to be true to myself as a child of God. I don't consider these "new years resolution's" however because should God take me in a different direction completely I am not going to look back and consider the un-achieved as failures. Also because some of these things are things that I should have down phat by now and they just need to be adjusted so that my lifestyle reflects them. TOUGH<br />
<br />
---IN 2012 I WOULD LIKE TO---<br />
<br />
*Become a more dedicated person.<br />
<br />
*Finish writing some music that I've labeled "UNABLE."<br />
<br />
*Learn how to love and receive love in an unfathomable way.<br />
<br />
*Budget my time wisely. [I get 2 day's off a week and have 987656 things/people that I would like to see/do.]<br />
<br />
*Pick up my guitar daily<br />
<br />
*Volunteer somewhere, somehow, I want to not only give back, but just GIVE in general.<br />
<br />
*Learn to decipher what God's voice sounds like as opposed to my own.<br />
<br />
*Fall in love with my job again every morning.<br />
<br />
*Learn to love my clients and appreciate what they can bring into my life.<br />
<br />
*Start learning french.(ahahaha...if I am really listing some of my dreams here.)<br />
<br />
*Pray for the attention span of a gold fish to dissipate.<br />
<br />
*Learn my fiance's love language.<br />
<br />
*Give back to my parents in any way that I can.<br />
<br />
*Visit my grand parents at least monthly, so that when I tell them I love them and appreciate them, it will not be in vain.<br />
<br />
*Walk my dog more (so that my mom's life span for her does not come to fruition.) HA!<br />
<br />
*Be a big part of Addies life.<br />
<br />
*Show my best friends how much I value them<br />
<br />
*learn the meaning of diligence, whether it be in my work outs, in my devotions, in doing my laundry, dishes, grocery shopping etc.<br />
<br />
*Drink more water<br />
<br />
*Go on COFFEE dates<br />
<br />
*Clean up my language, and I don't mean ENGLISH.<br />
<br />
And above all, I want to learn what it really means to share Christ's love with people so that when the spirit moves I can move with it.<br />
<br />
I've been learning this past week via a book series Ive started that life really really REALLY is but a breath. We have a chance right here, right now to be a different person than we were yesterday. It's to short and to unknown to live selfishly, hindered and full of baggage. I want to let go of any suitcase full of worry, shame, tainted brokenness, confusion, labeled 2011 and beyond. I want to live in freedom. Freedom was given to us as a gift when Christ died on that cross for our sins. However, freedom is a choice that we need to choose daily. We can choose to put one foot in front of the other and walk in grace, or we can choose to pick up that suit case and be stuck. You can't fly when you have that kind of weight in your life.<br />
<br />
I've already started making changes in my life, including letting go of people I've sadly clung to with false hope of reconciliation. I must say it was ridiculously hard to come to terms with that, however after going about the "clean up," the freedom that I have felt lately is unimaginable.<br />
<br />
That all being said, I hope that 2012 holds clarity for all of your homes and hearts. ANNDDD lets be real, I probably won't be back on here until at LEAST May. ;)<br />
<br />
<br />
Love- T<br />

<span class="authorSpan">by <a href="http://www.laurenconrad.com/user_profile/view/10008">Lauren Conrad</a></span> </div></div><span class="contentStreamPostBodyText"> <div style="text-align: center;"><img alt="Interior design" height="500" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5316/5909953847_34a37d1ef8.jpg" title="Interior design" width="400" /></div>Some things come naturally to certain people: baking, drawing, decorating a room… For the rest of us, it takes an education. When I decorated my first apartment, I knew what I wanted but had trouble bringing that vision to life. I guess you could say I was overwhelmed. The daunting task of pulling together a space that wasn’t just a bedroom in a fully furnished house, seemed like an impossible chore. As with all things, it took practice, a few moves, and some divine (design) inspiration to finally feel comfortable decorating my home. <br />
<br />
Whether your space is simply a room or an entire house, there are a few things I’ve learned about interior design to help you conquer your design demons…<br />
<img alt="chair" height="219" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5155/5910553790_ec1a704344.jpg" style="float: right; margin: 10px;" width="212" /><br />
<strong>#1: Personalize your space.</strong> <br />
Your home (or room) should reflect who you are. If someone were to walk into your home, they should know that it’s yours. The best way to achieve this is by including accessories that reveal your hobbies and interests. What’s important is that you distance yourself from what the stores are telling you to buy. Often times we are drawn to ideas that are trendy or pre-done: “Of course this white lacquered elephant statue would look great in my bedroom!” But is that really you? Maybe not. Instead, aim for pieces that compliment your personal clothing style. You may be surprised to discover that styling an outfit isn’t too different from decorating a room. So take a look in your closet. What colors are you drawn to? Do you prefer mod or modern? Clean cuts or lacy ruffles? Use your taste in clothing as a style guide for your home—it’s an easy way to ensure your space is 100% you. <br />
<br />
<strong>#2: Work with your surroundings.</strong><br />
It’s important to understand your design limitations. Be familiar with the size and scale of the room. Also, consider your environment and respond to it. Whether you’re in the city or the countryside, it helps to take a cue from your surroundings. In turn, you can narrow down your choices based on the context of your space. <br />
<br />
<strong>#3: Keep comfort in mind.</strong><br />
Have you ever purchased a piece of furniture simply because it was pretty, only to discover that it’s painfully uncomfortable (or useless)? I don’t know about you, but I am definitely guilty of this offense. Nevertheless, the silver lining of this mistake is that I learned an important lesson: comfort is key. When I think of “home sweet home,” the first word that comes to mind is cozy. Making your home comfy and cozy is a must. Nothing is worse than going to a friend’s house and awkwardly balancing on their <a href="" target="_blank" title="Interior Design">post-modern chair</a>. Your space should be inviting and comfortable. <br />
<strong></strong><br />
<img alt="Room" height="370" src="http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5313/5910585474_fc769acd43.jpg" style="float: left; margin: 10px;" width="273" /><strong>#4: Stick with the classics.</strong><br />
There’s a reason classic is, well, classic. Incorporating pieces that have withstood the test of time gives you the freedom to translate them as your design style evolves. Using classic furniture, prints, and fabrics provides you with a basic foundation to build on with trendy or personalized accessories and finishes. Let’s say you find a gorgeous antique credenza or a traditional armchair. You love the shape and feel of the piece, but the finish or fabric is all wrong. In this situation, I say: invest! There are plenty of ways to transform an older, classic shaped piece of furniture. If it’s a sofa: reupholster, add throw pillows… An aged dresser: paint it! The possibilities are endless when it comes to updating a timeless piece. <br />
<br />
<strong>#5 Less is more.</strong><br />
Keep it simple. You don’t want to overcrowd your space. If you edit the items in each room, the area will appear to be cleaner and even bigger. Just remember, you can always add more!<br />
<br />
I hope you find my tips helpful the next time you find yourself face-to-face with an interior design project. <br />

haha, do you ever expect me to be consistent with my blogs? NOOOPE. Just wanted to give a quick shout out to everyone who made my birthday week something to remember. I truly am so grateful for my friends and family. I got to spend a whole day with my dad last Thursday, than a whole evening with my mom on Friday. I saw my best friend Thursday night, and my soul sister called me on my day-o-birth. And to top it off , I had all the rest of my special people take me out/meet me out in uptown. Sunday=recovery/valley fair/sooo many great memories/spending the whole day with my brothers. Truly this was one of the best weeks ever! I have sooo much sleep to catch up on but whatevs! :)<br />
<br />
And this week brings packing packing packing, because Bryan moves into his very first apartment. COOL! ;)<br />

I found myself sitting at my "creating" desk last night, doing just that, creating. Watching GG, and listening to what was at that moment, the rain outside. I felt inspiration that seemed to have left me for the duration of winter, all of a sudden right back at my finger tips. This winter has truly been a hard one for me, and I cannot show my true excitement enough to have it G-O-N-E. I'm not only feeling inspired in my craft, but in work, in my relationships, in my family life, and the list goes on and on.<br />
<br />
I can't wait to see the flowers!<br />
<br />
Amidst all the struggles in my life as of lately, I can say with a smile that I AM BLESSED, and Life, Truly IS GOOD!<br />

Its only been 6 days and I have come to a scary conclusion...i can't live without him. Everything I do during the day seems to remind me that he is gone, and I'm consistantly on the verge of tears especially if he calls. But get this, I was just in mexico for a week so I have no reason to be bad at him for going, and yet every time he calls me I'm pissy with him. It almost hurts to hear his voice. WOW, who am I? Oh and the kicker is that he drunkenly jumped in the lake with his phone and now I can't even talk to him for the next 4 days. I'm seriously so mad at him for taking a vacation for so long lol. AH, dont ever date me, I'm a CRAZY girlfriend.<br>
Ok, vent session over, I'm going to bed! Oh and for the record, I went to the gym tonight...post mexico resolution has begun!<br>
Hooolllaaa!</p>

Hey! Probably thought I was dead ha? ;) well here is a quick little post to inform you otherwise. Mexico is teaching me alot about myself, and alot more about other people! That can and will be elaborated on probably on a far date in the future! I will go ahead and inform you that although this trip cost me basically nothing to go on, I'm pretty sure I'm coming back to a $300 phone bill, so thats always nice, right? Right.</p>
<p>I'm loving the sun, and its a sickening thought that its only 12 degrees back home, however I really am starting to miss bryan and my family. All I can think about is looking for an apartment, and cutting hair- is that weird, probably!!<br>
While were on the subject of hair, I'm also a little bit pissy about the color of mine, I had it foiled 4 days before vacation and it no longer looks blonde...WTF??<br>
I'm excited to find a gym to go to, and to get back on a work out plan,and to clean out my car! Ahaha oh the thoughts you think!! :)</p>
<p>Well those are the only thoughts I will leave you with for now!!</p>
<p>Cheers!</p>

However- since it's not up yet, this is a great start. :)<br />

<br />
[OK SO.]<br />
<br />
In high-school, I apparently i used to start all of my papers with that very phrase...one of my friends kindly informed me that I needed to quit doing that. that was what SIX YEARS AGO??? Sorry tino- if you ever read these blogs it will be also apparent that I NEVER STOPPED! :) HA. That's just how my brain works grammatically incorrect as it is. WELCOME<br />
<br />
SOOOO I'm sitting at work right now (the nanny gig, not the salon (obvi),) and I am beyooond exhausted. I am pretty sure it is going to be at least another 4 hours or so before I am headed home and I happen to have my notebook in the car (alllll the way outside) which would make for a great study session. Because as all of you know I will need to pass my color test soon...and how do we do that folks??? We study. HA! yeaaaahhh- I think I might pass out any second now- the kind where you wake up and realize that you've been drooling like a wacko and now your notes are all ruined. And yet I feel like I need to give myself the count down of a lifetime and FORCE myself to skip out to my car (joke- I can't skip [don't know how]) and get that stupid notebook and those stupid note cards and study my ass off until those dang color theories become second nature to me. BLAAAAAH is my response to that thought, and yet I know I without a doubt I will feel so accomplished if I even put 30 minuets into it.<br />
<br />
So I am going to go ahead and procrastinate for at least 5 more minuets- tell you about my day, probably puke up all the bad food choices real quick and than...THAN I will go get my study on. I mean really...how often is it that you get two legit posts out of me in the same week? RARE, I KNOW.<br />
<br />
Ok I lied, I am not going to tell you about my day really at all, because it was fine but not really blog worthy. I mean there were a couple crazy cat clients that I had but I will save all client funnies for a real live audience. It makes for better sound effects and the LOL's increase by at least 10%. yeah...I'm really stalling here.<br />
<br />
but in general, as most of you know- life is AMAZING right now. Sure I have had quite the cluster of trials come my way in the past few weeks which have brought the tears out of even me. However, the lord has been so faithful, my boy friend has been a ROCK STAR, and my parents well they have been my parents- ever coming through for me. I hope one day I am able to give back to them as much as they have given and continue to give to me. Ok- enough mush. Seriously though, my friends have been fabulous- I couldn't ask for better. And I feel like this spring has so much to offer it just blows my mind.<br />
<br />
So here is a BIG FAT THANKS to everyone who has been cheering me on and supporting me all of my life, or just in random portions of it. I love you. COFFEE DATE PLEASE?<br />
<br />
AANNNDDD ON THAT NOTE...I'm done.<br />

<br />
Lets just go ahead and get that out of the way. That was a squeal of excitement in case you need explanation. :) So without further a due, I will inform you that I am being placed at the St. Anthony Salon which is the salon that I REAAALLLY wanted to go to and almost didn't think was even an option. It's kind of a tricky situation of sorts, but none the less, I start part time in a couple weeks. I have SOOO much that I need to do in the next couple weeks to get me ready to go, (STRESS) I'm such a panicker lol so I hope I make it out alive. Wouldn't that be great?? :) HA.<br />
<br />
As I sit here drinking my morning (second cup) of coffee A few thoughts cross my mind:<br />
<br />
1) I really hope I don't spill it on anything important today.<br />
2) I can't WAIT to start looking at apartments in St. Anthony.<br />
3) I am excited to drop these bags of clothes off for my cousin.<br />
4) I REAALLLY hope I get around to taking pictures of these hair flowers that I so desperately need to put up on etsy.<br />
5) I NEED A NEW PHONE.<br />
6) I hope I don't pass out before noon. [TIRED]<br />
7) BRYAN PLEASE FIX BELLA<br />
8) I HAVE SOOO MUCH TO DO TODAY AND NOT ENOUGH ENERGY TO DO IT.<br />
<br />
And on that note I am going to get off of this thing and start plugging away for a while. I might play a little Morissey to catch up with the times. :)<br />
<br />
